Modern-day cowgirls

Isabel Marant stood out from the crowd with an entire collection inspired by the American West. Riding boots, cowboy boots and thigh boots -- three cowgirl essentials-- were everywhere, along with high-waisted trousers, Western shirts, big belts, and poncho jackets. Fringes on leather jackets and handbags were another key detail. Bohemian, chic, feminine and laidback by turns, cowgirls rode the catwalks of several fashion capitals. In New York, Pyer Moss opted for cowgirls -- and cowboys -- with a hint of sportswear, while Calvin Klein 205W39NYC presented a range of ultra-modern Western looks.

At Milan Fashion Week, the Etro dressing room was also overrun by the Far West. In Paris, Chloé presented a range of more subtle bohemian-chic looks, while an Off-White show focused on the world of horse-riding, with a wide range of details to enhance modern-day cowgirl outfits.

Cowgirls for a day, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner

 At its 2018-2019 fall-winter menswear/womenswear show in January, Dsquared2 also looked to the Old West for inspiration. With denim shirts, cowboy jackets, hats and boots, leather trousers, steer motifs and fringes everywhere, the brand was clearly aiming at being home on the range this season.

This was confirmed in June with the unveiling of its 2018-2019 fall-winter campaign, featuring Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. The two American top models, who often take to the trail on horseback, are pictured in modernized Western attire in a video that emphasizes sexy details and sensuality, a trend likely to inspire many imitators this fall.
